Additional quotes by Joseph Hall

So little in his purse, so much upon his back.

How easy it is for men to be swollen with admiration of their own strength and glory, and to be lifted up so high as to lose sight both of the ground whence they rose, and the hand that advanced them.

A legal thief, a bloodless murderer,
A fiend incarnate, a false usurer.
